Summary: "Farmers of Forty Centuries; Or, Permanent Agriculture in China, Korea and Japan" by F. H. King is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the agricultural practices and wisdom of Eastern cultures, particularly those of China, Korea, and Japan, highlighting their sustainable farming techniques developed over millennia. It aims to inform a Western audience about the efficient use of land and resources in these densely populated regions. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the importance of agriculture as the foundation of civilization and reviews the relatively recent advancements in agricultural practices in Western countries compared to the ancient methods utilized in the East. The author, travelling through these regions, expresses a desire to understand the techniques that have allowed these populations to thrive for thousands of years on limited land. Observations include the integration of human and organic waste into farming practices, the effective irrigation systems employed, and the cultural attitudes toward land and resource conservation, suggesting a wealth of knowledge that could be of great benefit to modern agricultural practices worldwide.
